About this work
The Ballade advances less through refrains than through successive transformations of its themes. A singing line may gather chords, move to another register and return in a different light without losing its identity.
Reduce each section to melody and bass in order to locate cadences and modulations. The inner figures will then recover their role within the phrase instead of forming a uniform layer.
Adjust pedal according to density and prepare crescendos across several bars. Contrasts of timbre should illuminate the form without interrupting the pulse that connects the episodes.
